"jimmy kimmel live," coming up next.
12:01 am
12:02 am
>> jimmy: hi, i'm jimmy kimmel with a word about the 3 g an troid phone that meets military specks. it's the smartphone that is as tough as it is smart. don't just take my word for it. let's dial my friend here -- [ ringing ] >> who is this? >> jimmy: hi, yehya, it's jimmy. >> hi, jimmy. jimmy kimmel. >> jimmy: yes, jimmy kimmel. we have yehya out on hollywood boulevard in a dunk tank, and -- that's my cousin sal. cousin sal's got a good arm. sal, yehya- sal is going to
12:03 am
try to dunk you while you're on the phone. yehya? >> yes? >> jimmy: did you hear that? >> i hear that. >> jimmy: are you ready for this. >> i'm ready for this. >> jimmy: here we go. let him have it. little lower. okay. he's getting closer. -- oh, he's getting a lot closer. yehya? can you hear me? >> who is this? >> jimmy: still jimmy. >> jimmy kimmel, i don't believe this. >> jimmy: look at that. it still works. >> dicky: the casio commando. available sclufly at verizon wireless. "jimmy kimmel live," back in two minutes with kyra sedgwick. blind movie critic jay forry. and music from theophilus london. i never saw the traffic stop.
12:04 am
it all happened so fast. it was clearly too late for me to do anything as my mercedes collision system automatically kicked in. the next thing i know, the mercedes stopped itself. ♪ watching what mercedes has done in bringing together these sensors in a car with software that has the ability to save your life. that's magical software. [ male announcer ] the innovation, the engineering of mercedes-benz. the best or nothing.
12:05 am
so we created stacked, stuffed and topped entrees, starting at $9.99. stacked, stuffed and topped! i like things smooshed. we'll work on that. [ male announcer ] only at applebee's. open 'til midnight or later. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's
12:06 am
"jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- kyra sedgwick. blind movie critic jay forry. and music from theophilus london. with cleto and the cletones. ♪ it's "jimmyimmel live" >> dicky: and now, don't move. here's jimmy kimiml! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that's very nice. thank you. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thanks for coming tonight. thanks. if you're watching at home, i hope you're cool. you know, heat warnings have been issued in 17 states across america. temperatures have been over 100 degrees. so, think of me as a large meat flavored popsicle tonight. [ laughter ] why do they give heat warnings?
12:07 am
i'm pretty good figuring out that it's hot on my own. you think they do it so if you pass out, they say, hey, we gave you a heat warning, yet you went out and got hot. if only we had some sort of device to cool the air. now that would be something. in oklahoma yesterday, 13 government buildings were closed due to insufficient air conditioning. the governor declared the entire state a mcconaughey zone, which means it's legal to go to work without a shirt on. in knoxville, iowa the heat index, which i think is the summer version of windchill, got up to 131 degrees. i think you can bake cook keies 131 degrees. why is this happening? did god leave a space heater on? this is why we should switch to celsius. in europe, rarely does it get over 40 degrees because they have celsius over there. [ applause ] thank you. meanwhile, billionaire media tycoon rupert murdoch was sweating a lot this morning.
12:08 am
he and his son james testified before the british house of commons. rupert murdoch owns news corp. which owns the fox network and a number of newspapers, includin "news of the world," whichh is tabloid that allegedly hacked into the phones of 4,000 people mostly celebrities. apparently they couldn't wait the 10 minutes for victoria beckham to tweet what she ate for lunch. they needed to know immediately. of course she does not eat lunch. we know that. [ applause ] but they may also have targeted politicians and even some victims of crimes to get stories, which is a big deal. so they brought rupert murdoch in for questioning to find out how much of this he knew about. and throughout the interrogation, he did an odd thing. he kept pounding on the table. watch this. >> i need to say something. and this is not an excuse. maybe an explanation.
12:09 am
"news of the world" is less than 1% of our company. employ 53,000 people around the world who are proud and great and ethical and -- [ [ ughter ] >> jimmy: he did finally get it. so, i guess it was a fly. you know, some people -- [ applause ] kind of interesting. i i don't know rupert murdoch o much about him, but some people think he was intentionally appearing to be confused. i don't know, he's an 80-year-old man. don't you have to now how to use a cell phone before you can hack into one? he paiai$580 million for myspace. obviously he knows nothing about technology. [ laughter ] rupert said that he was embarrassed and that today was the most humble day of his life. mostly because every other day involves him swimming in a bathtub full of money like scrooge mcduck. [ laughter ] but take a look at this. now, the guy sitting -- oh, no,
12:10 am
wait, the guy sitting behind him, note the position of his shirt collar. like somebody forgot to shave down his devil horns before he left the castle this morning. rupert's son james also had a distraction behihi him. now, right behind james is joel klein, the guy now touching his nose. he's an executive haven't at news corp. he's in charge of the internal investigation and he's -- he started digging for clues in his nose and then he started going for his head. his ears. and examining the pickings, or the findings, as they're called in an evidentiary hearing. if this goes on any longer, he will not have a head left. he's going to have just a -- now, see there? that's a guy that should get a monkey, right? [ applause ] he's got the money.
12:11 am
got the inclination, certainly. the most interesting part of the hearing today came when a man suddenly attacked rupert murdoch with a pie. which, i think it's nice that people are still throwing pies. it's like seeing somebody wear a walkman or something. but well, here's the video. okay, now. he's being asked a question. by an unusually good-looking questioner. i don't know how that happened. now watch this. the pie guy comes in there and -- my favorite part is this policeman. you see that guy? hold on. can we show that in slow motion? watch this again. okay. so, the pie -- his wife attacks the guy with the pie. and here comes the policeman. [ laughter ] and now comes a woman in a jacket with tails. she looks like a conductor or something. like an episode of "benny hill." then the queen comes in. spongebob, of course. and finally, the ham-burglar.
12:12 am
it's like a "monty python" sketch. by the way, when you hit someone with a pie, what message are you sending? i disapprove of your actions, or, your face is about to get something delicious in it? in other business news, borders, which is the country's second largest campaign of bookstores, announced yesterday it will liquidate its stock and close all its stores nationwide. which, i don't think this is what the republicans meant by closing our borders, but what are you going to do? [ applause ] but i'll tell you something, and if i can be serious for a moment, this is what happens when oprah retires. we all stop reading. [ laughter ] borders has been around for a long time. there's one right down the block from us and it's weird to see them going away. i guess people realize that if you order from amazon, there's much slimmer chance of getting a book with a booger wiped inside of it. borders emplpled more than 10,000 people who will lose their jobs, which is a shame. but i think i figured out a way to save borders.
12:13 am
with a couple of very small changes. borders could reinvent itself into a business that americans love, which is hooters. just switch a few letters around. [ applause ] you know, my book club has been meeting at hooters for years. here in california, ventura county sheriff officials said they found and eradicated 68,000 marijuana plants. valued at more than $205 million. they discovered camp sites in the mountains with tents, sleeping bags, fertilizer, several million dollars worth of smores. [ laughter ] it was -- they called the fire department in to burn the marijuana. they brought the world's largest bong and set it on fire. and then everyone headed to denny's for all you can eat griddle cakes. but -- [ applause ] you know, pot is kind of legal here. i'm -- 2 $0 million worth of pot burped. meanwhile, because of budget cuts, kids in l.a. have to bring their own toilet paper to
12:14 am
school. couldn't we have just held an enormous bake sale with some very special brownies on it? [ applause ] yes, we could have. do you think snoop dogg feels a disturbance in the force when -- [ laughter ] like when obi wan felt alderon get blown up? last night on "the bachelorette," ashley narrowed the field down to three men. and guess what? she'sarrying all of them. e's a polygamist. i've been losing interest in this season of "the bachelorette" lately. so, we put this together. this highlights three of the most interesting things on the show. when ashley or someone s s "like." when ashley or someone says "connection." they say that a lot. and when she plays with her bangs. >> like. >> like. >> like. >> connection. >> bangs. >> like. >> like. >> connection. >> bangs. >> like. >> connection. >> bangs. >> like. >> connection. >> bangs. bangs. bangs. >> like, like, like. connectionon, bangs. only on abc.
12:15 am
>> jimmy: see, now that -- i think that's more entertaining. [ applause ] meanwhile, on a another beloved reality program, tonight on "deadliest catch," this is a show about crab fishermen in alaska. they are in an intense environment. people actually die trying to catch crabs, which, i caught them in college very easily. [ laughter ] but anyway, on tonight's episode, the captain of the ship had a physical altercation with one of the cameramen from the show. it was pretty good. we thought it would be better if we took the audio from the fight and changed out the video from the show with video from the superman cartoon. and, well, we were right. >> hey. you don't do [ bleep ] and here. >> what are you talking about? >> i've asked you to make me a [ bleep ] pot of coffee three [ bleep ] times this season and you're too busy sleeping. >> i'm too busy sleeping making -- >> don't you [ bleep ] get in my face, do you understand me? do you understand? >> what the [ bleep ] is that? >> you don't [ bleep ] -- >> go to bed or go on deck --
12:16 am
>> get out of my [ bleep ] face. [ applause ] >> jimmy: the man of steel has quite a potty mouth. they used his heat vision to boil the crabs instantly. one more thing. some sad news, as celebrity couple jennifer lopez and marc anththy announced that after seven years of marriage, they're filing for divorce. friends say the couple drifted apart when she saw a picture of them together and realized he looks like a goblin wearing sunglasses. but it's said. you know, you hate to see two people you don't know at all splitting up for reasons that are entirely none of your business. but no one was more upset about this t tn our parking lot security guard guillermo. right, guillermo? guillermo actually tweeted about this while we were on break. yeah, there it is. "well, jennifer lopez and marc anthony split. no good. i love them as a couple." why did you love them as a couple? >> they look good together. >> jimmy: they look good together? >> yeah. >> jimmy: really? >> yeah. >> jimmy: all right.
12:17 am
well, obviously this was hard news for guillermo to hear. but i thought it would be nice if we learned something from this unpleasant experience. bad things sometimes happen. i thought it might be helpful for those of you out there who have to break the news to your security guards -- i'm not saying this is how you have to do it, but this is how i handled it and i think it worked out okay. guillermo. can i talk to you for a second? >> wait, give me a minute. okay. go ahead. >> jimmy: i'm not sure how to tell you this so i'm just going to come right out and say it. j. lo and marc anthony are getting divorced. >> oh, no. divorced? >> jimmy: yeah. we still have lamar odom and khloe kardashian, right? >> no! no! no! no!
12:18 am
no! no! no! no! no! >> jimmy: guillermo. >> no! i got to go do something crazy, jimmy. muy crazy! >> jimmy: muy crazy? >> no! no! no! no! >> hey, watch it! >> just drive, stranger. >> jimmy: so, that's how you do it. [ applause ] it works for landscapers, too. hey, we have a good show for you tonight. blind movie critic jay forry is here with us. we're ghog going to speak to hip. we have music from theophilus london. and we'll be right back with kyra sedgwick, so stick around.

[ laughter ] >> and, you know, of course, when the news is good, everyone wants to call you, but when it's bad, it's crickets. >> jimmy: so nobody called at all? >> no call. >> jimmy: who usually calls you? >> your publicist. >> jimmymyokay. >> and there was no call. >> jimmy: my publicist calls you? i was wondering what he was doing. so, you are kind of waiting by the phone, or are you sleeping at the time? >> well, i have to admit, i woke up early. >> jimmy: you did? >> i had bad dreams all night about it and i kind of thought maybe it wasn't going to happen. so, i must have sensed
12:27 am
something. >> jimmy: this would be, by the way, a great time to crank call your other celebrity friends. at 5:00 in the morning when they are waiting for that call, you could really -- >> that would have been awesome. >> jimmy: we have to make a note of that. >> oh, my god. but -- you know, and then afterwards there was all these ticles, you know, about everything, and then -- >> jimmy: saying you should have been nominated? >> and i'm not comfortable with the word "snub," but -- [ laughter ] but you know, i'm such a controlling, like, you know, solution-oriented person that i actually thought, well, you know, when i finally called my publicist and said, what's going on? and she said, you didn't get nominated. i thought, well, surely there's something we can do. i mean -- there's a call that can be made. maybe kevin can call. >> jimmy: really? you wanted kevin to mama some calls? >> no, it's just -- and then you're like, no, actually, no. >> jimmy: too late at a certain point. even kevin could not solve this
12:28 am
crisis. >> but you know, my cast member was, mary mcdonald was nominated, so, we were very happy for her. >> jimmy: yeah, sure. >> so that made it all okay. >> jimmy: did it really? >> yes, it really did. [ applause ] >> jimmy: more or less, right? i mean, takes a little bit of the sting. maybe it adds sting. i don't know. >> it took the sting out. absolutely. >> jimmy: why is the show ending? why is this the last season of the show? >> um -- i just really felt like it would be great to go out on top, you know? >> jimmy: i see. >> i just thought it would a really great thing. it's been a long time. it's been seven years. you know, i don't want people to ge bored and start hating us. you stay around too long and you start smelling. >> jimmy: you have to start, like, adopting a cute kid on the show or something like that to keep it fresh. >> exactly. >> jimmy: and is something terrible to going to happen to you at the end? have you guys figured this out? >> i have no idea what's going to happen. >> jimmy: you don't. >> no, i don't. >> jimmy: do they know what's going to happen? >> i hope so.
12:29 am
>> jimmy: you live in new york, right? >> yes. >> jimmy: and you shoot the show out here. >> yeah, we shoot out here. >> jimmy: so, how much of the year are you here? >> six months out of the year. >> jimmy: oh, wow. so, you are half and half then. you miss new york? >> i do. i miss new york. i love new york. i mean, i grew up in new york. i'm like a fourth generation new yorker. kind of in my blood. >> jimmy: do the paparazzi chase you around out there, too? >> no. we're so boring. they could care less about us. >> jimmy: you don't do anything weird? >> we're so boring. we're a crushing bore. but i actuallll was leaving a theater on 42nd street a couple of months ago and tmz, you know tmz, right, you must be familiar -- >> jimmy: i'm not familiar with them. >> or the emmys. >> jimmy: those animals with their video cameras. yes. >> so i walked out and this guy stuck a camera in my face and said, what do you think of 42nd street? and i was like, oh -- normally i would just put my head down, keep on walking, i'm on my way home.
12:30 am
but then i started to think about, i actually have a feeling about this. lie like, i really had some thoughts about what has happened to 42nd street. and i suddenly started thinking, this is the perfect venue to talk about how i feel about what's happened on 42nd street. you know, because it's like totally homogenized. so, i said, you know what, i'm not so happy with what's happened. it's totally business-fied. disney everywhere. look at this place, it's all lit up, like daytime, you know, and it's midnight. and i started to get really excited. i said, i mean, how many, you know, waste of energy having to light up this place. i mean, you know how many mountaintops had to be mined to get enough energy to light this place up like it's 11:00?

[ applause ] what -- why would you -- what did they do to you that made this -- >> well, you know, what they would do is, they would wait until you were sick and then they would call you up at home, like, they would get to make one call to you at home and there were three of them. they would go into the nurse -- >> jimmy: why did they get to make one call? was it like prison or something? >> i know. and they would say, hi, kyra, how are you doing? and i'd be like, i'm sick, i don't feel very well. and they would say, gosh, school is just not the same without you. and i was like, really? but i knew it wasn't good.

>> jimmy: well, hello. we are back. ovov the past two dozen years, our next guest has reviewed hundndds of movies without seeing a single one of them. please welcome blind movie critic, jay forry. hello, jay. [ cheers and applause ] jay, lest people think this is a comedy bit of some kind, you really are a movie reviewer, a movie critic. you are registered with the society or whatever there is? >> yeah, i'm a member of the broadcast films critics association. we vote on movies every year. >> jimmy: did you have to apply far position in that association? >> yes. i -- eight years ago, i had to apply. they had to make sure i do enough radio reviews. that's what i'm famous for. >> jimmy: i heard you on my friend kevin and bean on kroc have a show that you call into a lot. and you actually sincerely review the movies, though you can't see them at all.
12:52 am
>> exactly right. yeah. what i do is, someone has to take me down to the movie. i can't drive yet, even though i'm blind. but -- so, someone takes me, i go in and -- before i do the movie, i do a little bit of research. i know -- i want to know what the setting is, what the date, the time, and then i go to the movie. i don't want to go in blind. i want to know what's going on. [ applause ] >> jimmy: are there advantages? i would imagine there would be, in a way. are there advantagag -- besides, like, if somebody tall is sitting in front of you, you don't have to worry about it. are there advantages to being blind as far as reviewing a movie goes? >> well, one of the advantages is, for example, i don't have to worry about -- i'm listening for good sound, if it's -- there's a movie called "master and commander" and it had, you could hear the sound of the sail hitting the, in the wind, the waves hitting the ship.
12:53 am
and the sounds and good dialogue make a difference. yeah. while other people are watching gorgeous women, special effects in 3d, i'm listening to actual plot and story line. >> jimmy: right. so, like, you have no idea what megan fox, for instance, looks like? >> well, not unless -- well, we won't go there. [ applause ] >> jimmy: okay, so, do have a seeing eye dog side kick that gives paws up or anything? >> no, you know what? jimmy, this is funny. when i first became a movie critic, and i had only been blind a few years, i got a dog, seeing eye dog. a big black k b. and i was with my wife, we're going into the movie, and i wasn't doing screenings yet. still doing the radio. and so we're walking in, we'e' at the front, and he had never been to a movie theater before, big black lab. he's a little nervous. so, of course, we're outside, he pees on the sidewalk.
12:54 am
i go, oh, no. what else can happen? we get inside the lobby, okay, he takes a dump right in the lobby. so, my wife -- we got popcorn, she dumps the popcorn out, cleans it up. now, the movie has started. and we're standing back there and she's looking for a seat. and, all of a sudden, somebody screams. i go, oh, my wife rushes to the seat. i go, what happened? she goes, the dog's name was omar, she goes, there's a guy there sitting back there in the dark, kind of leaned down like this and omar had stuck his nose in the guy's ear. and when the guy looked over, he sees this big black face, just, ahh, he screamed. >> jimmy: so omar doesn't come to the movies anymore. >> exactly. well, i only had him six months, because i always had people taking me -- >> jimmy: you have seeing eye people. >> right. my wife was going to get a t-shirt that says, don't pet me, i'm working, so -- [ laughter ]
12:55 am
>> jimmy: and how long have you been blind? >> oh, i've been blind 22, 23 years. >> jimmy: and before that, were you a movie critic? >> no, i was a foreman for a steel crew. believe it or not. i guess if i wanted to keep on doing that, i'd need a seeing eye cat, i guess. >> j jmy: what made you decide that, okay, well, now i'm blind, i should probably start reviewing movies? [ laughter ] >> believe it or not, i went back to college. i went to college, i went to community college in florida and while i was there, first of all, i wanted to really be -- get involved in college excitement and experience. so, i ran for student government and -- vice president, and i won, because all over the school, vote for jay forry, vice president, he has the vision. and i won.
12:56 am
anyway -- [ applause ] someone asked me, say, jay, you want to write something for the school newspaper? i said, i'll be the movie critic! i started my column, "blind side." made a website. indsidereviews.com. i was actually graduated from college and one day i was asked to do a news show and on the news show was another movie critic and a radio host, todd is a host, m.j. in the morning, in tampa, my home host, and he asked me -- at the time, i never met him before. he said, jay, you got to do this on radio. and, you know how radio is. we do one -- i did 50 interviews that next week. and it's been -- been doing it ever since. >> jimmy: because you're blind and reviewing movies and it's kind of crazy. >> what's wrong with that? >> jimmy: hey, what do you think of 3d? [ laughter ] >> they're all zero d to me. >> jimmy: what about "avatar?" did you like that?
12:57 am
i mean, i'm trying to imagine watching that with my eyes closed and i don't know how interesting it wouldldave been. >> it felt like -- the plot was just like a western. i didn't enjoy it. the visuals, obviously were what it was all about. it wasn't a bad movie, but if you're blind, not the best. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: what's your r vorite movie of all time? >> oh -- you know, it's hard to believe, because i'm blind, you would think, you know, this would not be, but "the sixth sense." it's a great, you know, is a great story, great twists and turns. i'm a little jealous, jimmy. the boy in the film has six senses, i only have four. [ applause ] >> jimmy: and what movie -- what's the movie that you saw that you just went, like, i don't like this at all, maybe something that other people enjoyed? >> john travolta around? >> jimmy: he's sitting right beside you. [ laughter ]
12:58 am
>> there was a movie, you probably didn't see it, years ago -- >> jimmy: neither did you. >> that's true. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: which one was it? >> one called "battlefield earth." >> jimmy: oh, yeah, yeah. >> that movie was so bad. if i could have found the door to the theater, i would have left. i was stuck there! [ applause ] >> jimmy: well, this is great. i mean, you really -- i guess -- do you find you're inspiring other blind people to go to the movies? >> actually, once in awhile, i hear someone, you know, that is -- a lot of times i hear that blind people go to movies. they actually now have things at some theaters where you can wear, like, a headset and the movies are described, so, there are some theaters that actually have that. i always have somebody with me, i go to the screenings early, i'm spoiled, so -- >> jimmy: yeah, sure. you're a big shot there. >> exactly.
12:59 am
